The Tift Regional Medical Center Foundation recently donated $15,000 to the Tiftarea YMCA in Tifton.

These funds will be used to provide nourishment for the Tiftarea YMCA’s after school program.  The program begins with a daily devotion, nutrition, time for tutoring/homework and outdoor enrichment activities and games.  Speaking engagements from community leaders are encouraged, as it allows the children to learn about different professions in our area.  Before COVID-19, this program fed approximately 450-500 children at eight outreach sites throughout the community in the Summer time and two afterschool sites with approximately 50-60 kids per day during the school year. 

The TRMC Foundation is excited to partner with the Tiftarea YMCA on this worthy project.  The Foundation is a community sponsor and efforts are used on medical equipment for local and surrounding county emergency medical services; as well as assistance within the community.
